Minted in 2023, ed. 1/1.
Catalogue Note:
This work, a 1 of 1 unique edition, represents one of the 400 characters in The Last Judgment fresco, the central piece of The Underground Sistine Chapel. The Underground Sistine Chapel is a modern version of Michelangelo's masterpiece, painted by Pascal Boyart during the 2020 lockdowns. The work was produced over a period of 5 months in a former gold foundry close to Paris. Each NFT represents one of the 400 characters in the Last Judgment fresco.
Pascal Boyart is an artist based in Paris. Passionate about drawing since his youth, Pascal Boyart grew up in Paris near La Chapelle, the birthplace of European graffiti. So it’s natural, as a graffiti artist, that he began his journey by making a name in the midst of urban art. His figurative style and technical virtuosity quickly gained him the respect of his peers. Thus, for nearly fifteen years, he covered the walls of the capital with his ultra-realistic frescoes.
From this urban background, Pascal Boyart retains an obvious fascination for monumental portraits. Today, he concentrates on the representation of the gaze and the exploration of his expressive potential. He pays tribute to the infinite complexity of the human face's relation to the soul, the latter being both the most essential but also the most hidden part of each individual.
In the same way as his creative approach, which is as much an inheritance of urban culture as classical sensibility, his approach to painting combines new technologies with traditional painting techniques.
He is notably the first mural painter to affix a Bitcoin QR code to his paintings to get donations. He is also the first to have transformed his street art murals into NFTs.
Among his influencers we can cite Bruegel, Goya, Pollock, Seurat, Freud.
